Tristar Products is recalling about 1.4 million AquaRug shower rugs because the four suction cups on the bottom can fail to stick to the tub or shower floor. This defect causes the rug to slip, which has resulted in 60 reports of consumers falling, including 30 reports of injuries such as broken bones, fractures, cuts, and bruises. The rugs were sold in beige and clear colors at major retailers like Bed Bath & Beyond and Dollar General, as well as online and through television commercials between July 2012 and September 2015. Consumers should stop using these rugs immediately and contact the company for a free replacement.
The rug's suction cups do not provide enough grip to prevent the mat from sliding during use. This creates a significant slip and fall hazard on wet shower and bathtub surfaces, which has already caused serious injuries including bone fractures.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled shower rugs and contact Tristar for instructions on how to dispose of the rugs and to obtain a free replacement rug.
